I will state it plainly that our U.S. Senators and Rep. Doug Collins are barking up the wrong tree with their “calls” and “presses” against Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. They need to come up with some concrete evidence before they start running good people through the mud and tossing around allegations.
I honestly do not understand the fascination with President Trump’s people and Sec. Raffensperger. Rep. Doug Collins and the two Senators have a lot more to be focused on than Sec. Raffensperger, including two runoffs and the idea that Georgia could lose the money and jobs from SK Innovation investment in Jackson County. There is already a lot of pressure on President Trump from LG Chem to stay out of the dispute between the two companies.
Rep. Doug Collins only picked up 40.1% of the vote in Jackson County, which again is in his district, during his failed United States Senate bid. Sen. Loeffler picked up 33.9%.
Rep. Doug Collins:
“As we begin the recount process, there are three things we are formally requesting today from Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. First, there must be a full comparison of absentee ballots cast and in-person and provisional ballots cast throughout the state. Second, there must be a check for felons and other ineligible persons who may have cast a ballot. Third, and most importantly, the Secretary of State should announce a full hand-count of every ballot cast in each and every county due to widespread allegations of voter irregularities, issues with voting machines, and poll watcher access. We can – and we will – petition for this in court after statewide certification is completed if the Secretary of State fails to act, but we are hopeful he will preemptively take this action today to ensure every Georgian has confidence in our electoral process.”
